Oxford Applicants for 2012 Entry

Haven't been on here in a while...

I see I'm reasonably high in the number of posts competition.

I'm applying to do Biomed, because I've always loved biology and I like brains and things. As well as all the nice broad scottish biology/biomed courses...

Mum and dad seem to think 'this Oxford idea' is ridiculous and will leave them broke for the rest of their life. I've had to lie and say I'm only doing it for fun and that, where I by some miracle accepted, I "probably" wouldn't take the offer up. (lol)

Anyway I was wondering if Jessica or any of the other Scots on here would be able to tell me if Oxford would see our bandings??? I found out the other day I got 6A1s so I figure it'd be worth 'em knowing. =L

Mine being a **** school, the guidance teacher didn't know, so I decided to return to my favourite forum.

Thanks

Wow! Yes, your teacher can mention them in the reference (and any percentages too if you want). Perhaps if/when you get in, they'll change their minds? Or you can tell them that it now costs more for English people to go to Edinburgh than it does for us to go to Oxford, though I'm not sure that'll help. Tell them you'll take out a student loan and pay it back when you graduate? Or does the idea of debt launch them into panic? Have a look and see if you're eligible for any grants or bursaries.

Don't worry, it's not creepy. And I'll try to remember Greg. If we do both get in, I'd imagine CS and maths share some lectures, so we might see quite a bit of each other. Or there's university orchestras!

I'm not quite sure when the opportunity would arise...

Well, maybe





Me too!!! I am stalking them because I am so jealous

p.s. @everyone... how do you find out how many posts you've posted?!

Ah thanks!

Yay I'm 8th, thats a lucky number... although 218 is less than half of Julie's! (punctuation.)

hi all,
prospective maths applicant here.
asked this question in a few places but its a tricky one so yet to get a definitive answer here goes anyway.
does anyone know if Oxford offers include or exclude completed A-levels? I completed the maths a2 in year 12 as our school do further maths one after the other rather than both the ASs then the A2s, so would my theoretical offer be the standard A*A*A (A*s specified in maths + f maths) regardless of the fact that I have already got one of those A*s, meaning I only need A*A this year or would they then give me A*AA (A* specified f maths) for three subjects all completed this year? As if it's the latter I wouldn't be able to drop a subject, which I feel I need to do in order to devote enough time to outside reading and admissions test prep.
Thanks for your help

I would look at the Worcester freshers page but they're probably all talking about Emma Watson tbh

(i've forgotten why I chose worcester actually)

I think I'm around the middle somewhere, I can't imagine having so many posts, You all seem to know each other so well!

Yes, long distance relationship. With a boy (or should I say man? He is 18...) from Estonia. And no one knows where that is. I'm trying to persuade him to apply to Oxford but he's obsessed with America and is going for Harvard etc. Looks like this one won't last long...

Thankyou for telling me about the timetable! It's the week before my birthday, tension! I came back from Germany and pretty much remodelled my PS, and I submitted it onto TSR today, eek! I will try and read the thread when I have time :P I'd quite like to see how everyone did in results.

Sam's still here? Bless him. And Julie's not talking?! Shocker, what's going on?!

Yay I finally found my/a back-up! <3 <3 <3 *does dance*

Phia! you haven't posted for a long time too...

Had so much to do, a bad internet connection for a long time and I tried to stay away from the Internet (dun, dun, dun...) for a while!
How are you? Why do we have a website? What else has changed???

Merton is so inviting some of the other colleges have a closed group so you cant even see! and it's by far the most active...
